Tree-level scattering amplitudes in nonlocal field theories

نویسندگان

چکیده

We prove in two ways that, for a special class of nonlocal field theories consistent with linear and non-linear stability at the classical level, unitarity super-renormalizability or finiteness quantum $n$-point tree-level scattering amplitudes are same as those underlying local theory. In particular, gravity, without coupling to matter, Einstein's general relativity.

Tree Scattering Amplitudes *

The spin-4/3 fractional superstring is characterized by a chiral algebra involving a spin-4/3 current on the world-sheet in addition to the energy-momentum tensor. These currents generate physical state conditions on the fractional superstring Fock space. Scattering amplitudes of these physical states are described which satisfy both spurious state decoupling and cyclic symmetry (duality). Exam...

Effective Field Theories from Soft Limits of Scattering Amplitudes.

We derive scalar effective field theories-Lagrangians, symmetries, and all-from on-shell scattering amplitudes constructed purely from Lorentz invariance, factorization, a fixed power counting order in derivatives, and a fixed order at which amplitudes vanish in the soft limit. These constraints leave free parameters in the amplitude which are the coupling constants of well-known theories: Namb...

All tree-level amplitudes in massless QCD

We derive compact analytical formulae for all tree-level color-ordered gauge theory amplitudes involving any number of external gluons and up to three massless quark-anti-quark pairs. A general formula is presented based on the combinatorics of paths along a rooted tree and associated determinants. Explicit expressions are displayed for the next-to-maximally helicity violating (NMHV) and next-t...

Recursion Rules for Scattering Amplitudes in Non-Abelian Gauge Theories

We present a functional derivation of recursion rules for scattering amplitudes in a nonAbelian gauge theory in a form valid to arbitrary loop order. The tree-level and one-loop recursion rules are explicitly displayed. 1 Permanent address: Physics Department, Seoul National University, Seoul, 151-742, Korea. * e-mail: [email protected], [email protected]
